Frequently purchased together

The Yakima Gunwale Brackets set of 4 carry a canoe by the gunwales with a soft, rounded shape. Easier to load, thanks to rounded outer edge and lower height. Quick and easy to install on round or square crossbars. Long lasting stainless steel hardware insures the good times keep rolling. One pair of heavy duty straps with padded buckles included. Safe transporting is completed with Bow/Stern tie down straps-sold seperatly.

Does it right!

Seriously - If you put big bucks into your watercraft - you should invest in transporting it safely and securely. These brackets will do just this. I have an '06 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab with a camper shell. Yak bars on landing pads front and rear. Between these gunwale brackets and the supplied tie-downs I don't even bother with bow and stern straps. I've traveled from CA to NY at 80 mph in high winds and never had a problem. Love the security. The rubber pads and soft tie-down straps do a great job of protecting my cedar-strip canoes finish.

Canoe Transport!

This is really a solid product. I use the gunwale brackets with my Yakima Dry Dock and bow /stern tie downs. Highway speeds, bumpy roads have never been a problem. Very secure transport for my boat. High quality materials are holding up very well. I would def recommend.

Yakima Gunwale brackets

This is the second set of the Yakima Gunwale brackets that I have purchased so we can now transport two canoes. Installation is easy and fast. They work perfect and hold your canoe right where you want it. The included straps hold tight and do not loosen up like the less expensive straps. I would highly recommend this product.

Will this system work on a conventional...

Yes, But you should make sure the center of gravity of the canou is between your bar racks to avoid asymetrically loading one set. With reduced distance between bars on the cab of a truck you must have the bow and stern tied really securely.
